Galdos Y La Reaparicion De Personajes: Las Porreño, Garrote Y Coletilla, Joaquin Gimeno Casalduero

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

No sólo utiliza Galdós la reaparición de personajes; cambia a veces también lo que de su vida nos había referido. Voy a ocuparme ahora especialmente de la reaparición de algunos caracteres que se presentan por primera vez enLa Fontana: de las Porreño y del odioso Coletilla.

La Unidad Conceptual De El Embrujado*, Luis T. Gonzalez-Del-Valle

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

En los últimos veinticinco años, la crítica sobre Ramón del Valle-Inclán ha evolucionado substancialmente. Parte de este desarrollo ha llevado a varios colegas a expresarse sobre la concepción del tiempo y otras teorías sustentadas por don Ramón en La lámpara maravillosa² ya aplicar sus conclusiones a varios otros textos valleinclanescos. ³ Este reciente acercamiento ha facilitado nuestra mejor comprehensión de la producción literaria de uno de los más destacados escritores españoles de todas las épocas. Es indudable que mientras más percibamos el verdadero mensaje del único libro esencialmente teórico de Valle-Inclán, La lámpara maravillosa, más fácil nos resultará …

Ambivalence And Ambiguity In La Familia De Pascual Duarte, Leon Livingstone

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

When La familia de Pascual Duarte irrupted onto the Spanish literary scene in 1942 it created a furore whose effects have still not subsided. Most particularly is this reflected in the stream of critical surmise that continues to surround the work. The bafflement of interpreters, the «frustrating conjecture» ¹ to which they are impelled, centers around the evaluation of the protagonist as good or bad, hero or coward, victim or criminal, and also «difficulties» which «concern certain unexplained mysteries in the narrative. ²Among the latter can be noted the seemingly arbitrary killing by Pascual of his dog Chispa, the …

De Dario Y Jimenez (Un Autografo Fechado Y Algunas Anotaciones), Luis Monguio

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Conocida es la admiración y el cariño del joven Juan Ramón Jiménez por Rubén Daría, «el primer poeta de los que hoy escriben en castellano,» y los estímulos y la amistad que éste, en la plenitud de sus poderes poéticos, dispensó al iniciado de Ninfeas, «uno de los espíritus jóvenes más nobles, más brillantes y más puros que he conocido .» Hace ya un cuarto de siglo Donald F. Fogelquist dedicó un erudito estudio a esa relación y a la correspondencia entre ambos escritores. ¹

Working With Jose, Clayton Eshleman

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

José and I would sit together at a table (generally in his kitchen), each of us with a copy of Vallejo-our stump. Although in our case as translators, we were only sometimes talking around Vallejo-more often, we were talking through or with him, as if he were participant as well as obstacle. But Kelly's sense of «the shared preoccupation» leading to meaningful talk holds as a metaphor for our relationship through Vallejo. The often insurmountable difficulties of his text brought about a kind of mountain-climbing friendship. In a magical way, a heart to heart conversation, in fits and starts, before, …

Madariaga E Hispanoamerica, Ruben Benitez

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

No es necesario demostrar el interés de Salvador de Madariaga por los problemas de los países de Hispanoamérica. 1 Evidencian ese interés libros tan vibrantes como la Vida del muy magnifico Señor Don Cristóbal Colón (Buenos Aires: Sudamericana, 1940; la ed. inglesa, London, 1938), Hernán Cortés (Buenos Aires: Sudamericana, 1943; la ed. inglesa, New York, 1941), el extenso estudio Cuadro histórico de las Indias... (Buenos Aires: Sudamericana, 1945; la ed. inglesa London, 1946)que precede a la biografía de Bolívar (México: Hermes, 1951; la ed. inglesa, London, 1951), los estudios políticos Presente y porvenir de Hispanoamérica y otros ensayos (Buenos …

Solitude And Communion In Miau, Eva Margarita Nieto

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Miau continues to be a challenging work because of the complexity of its problems and techniques. The symbolic title has been studied as a key to the metaphoric tension of both structure and characterization within the novel; Don Ramón de Villaamil's deplorable economic situation reveals the narrator's and the author's critical perception of the false and hypocritical urban society that surrounds him. Above all, his suicide, constructed as it is within a quasi-heretical (certainly not orthodox) interpretation of the mandate of the Almighty, has both fascinated and puzzled critics.² Yet all of these problems, character dehumanization and animalization, the …

Cernuda Y Los Romanticos Ingleses, Carlos-Peregrin Otero

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

La primera edición de La realidad y el deseo vio la luz elIde abril de 1936, y las expresiones de admiración no se hicieron esperar (tal era el nivel a que habia llegado la apreciación de la poesia en España). Las voces más representativas del momento convergian en varios puntos capitales, entre ellos uno especialmente significativo para mi prop6sito. Citaré tan sólo tres de los juicios más' destacados. El primero es de Juan Ram6n Jiménez, y apareció en una nota publicada en El Sol el 26 de abril de aquel «año feliz» (la primavera no habia hecho más que empezar): …

Fasismo Y Poesia En España, Julio Rodriguez-Puertolas

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

José Antonio Primo de Rivera, Jefe de Falange Española, había proclamado en el discurso fundacional de su partido (1933) que «a los pueblos no los han movido nunca más que los poetas, y jay del que no sepa levantar, frente a la poesía que destruye, la poesía que promete!» El mismo Primo de Rivera era, en efecto, poeta, y tanto, que se permitía pulir y corregir los poemas de su correligionario Dionisio Ridruejo, como éste mismo declaró en sus Casi unas memorias (Barcelona, 1976, pág. 53):

La Inmortalidad Y La Tradicion Celtica En Rosalia Castro, Eva M. Kahiluoto Rudat

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

La función de la tradición céltica en la poesía de Rosalía Castro ha recibido relativamente poca atención en los estudios sobre ella, y sólo se menciona en términos generales. Marina Mayoral, por ejemplo, se cierne a lo que llama ella «las sombras» en la obra de Rosalía Castro como resto de una religiosidad primitiva. ¹ Kathleen Kulp, por su parte, habla de un sentimiento profundo de la naturaleza.² La interpretación suya se limita a un sólo aspecto de una afirmación de Ernest Renan sobre el naturalismo céltico, según la cual la mitología céltica no es más que un naturalismo …

Hacia Una Interpretacion De La Ironia En La Regenta De Clarin, Jose Schraibman, Leda Carazzola

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Para Leopoldo Alas, «el arte es una manera irremplazable de tomar conocimiento y conciencia de un mundo, bajo un aspecto especial de totalidad y de sustantividad que no puede darnos el estudio cientifico.»^l Este conocimiento se nos entrega en forma muy efectiva por medio de la novela, pues en ella se representa la realidad de modo tal que el lector asiste al espectáculo que se le ofrece, sin tener plena conciencia del medio por el cual éste se le ofrece. ² Sin embargo, en una novela como La Regenta, dada su complejidad, es necesario un análisis más detenido …

Rodrigo Soriano And Galdos: An Uncharted Friendship, Paul C. Smith

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Since the appearance in 1948 of H. Chonon Berkowitz's PioneeringPerez Galdós: Spanish Liberal Crusader, researchers have slowly been adding new facts to our knowledge of Galdós's life. But measured against major gaps in Berkowitz's information and questionable assumptions he made about Galdós, progress since 1948 towards compiling a reliable and comprehensive corpus of biographical information has been disappointing.

François Lamy And The Rhetoric Of Attention Of Malebranche, Thomas M. Carr Jr.

French Language and Literature Papers

François Lamy is always mentioned in the lively polemic over rhetoric touched off in 1694 by the attack of Goibaud Dubois against pulpit eloquence. The Benedictine Lamy became the center of the controversy when a 1698 éclaircissement of his De la connaissance de soi-même (5 vols. Paris, 1694-1698) provided the most thorough critique of the ancient art the quarrel produced. Malebranche himself did not participate directly in this dispute, but since he had made similar criticisms in passing in the Recherche de la vérité (1674) his presence was constantly felt in the background. This resemblance is no coincidence. According to …

Exploring The Cultural Content Of French Feature Films, Thomas M. Carr Jr.

French Language and Literature Papers

Of the many forms of realia at the disposal of the French teacher, the feature film can be the most engaging and rewarding. Nothing holds students' attention quite like a movie or gives them as vivid an experience of France, short of going abroad. Moreover, movies can furnish glimpses of milieus and personalities the average tourist or student rarely encounters. Instructors have been quick to make use of this potential in the classroom. In literature courses the movie version of a play or novel is compared with the original text. In civilization classes films are used along with supplemental readings …

The Influence Of Military Service On Political And Social Attitudes: A Study Of Socialization In The German Bundeswehr, Ekkehard Lippert, Paul Schneider, Ralf Zoll, Robert K. Shirer (Translated By)

German Language and Literature Papers

In recent years, one can observe a more intense interest on the part of the academic community and in the general public of the Federal Republic of Germany in questions concerning the Bundeswehr and about problems of the relationship between the military and society. One of the major reasons for the new scrutiny has been the drastic increase in the number of conscientious objectors to military service, occurring at the end of the 1960s. However, questions of the extensive defense- political aspects of the problem were less at the center of this interest than questions of educational and socialization processes …

Dramatic Structure And Philosophy In Brutus, Alzire And Mahomet, Thomas M. Carr Jr.

French Language and Literature Papers

An impressive amount of recent critical work has dealt with the philosophic element in Voltaire's tragedies. His plays have been labelled a theatre of involvement and a theatre of ideas; they have been examined from the standpoint of propaganda and as tragedy. However,the focus of such studies has been primarily on Voltaire's message or on the meaning of the plays, rather than on the dramatic structure he created to convey his philosophic concerns.

Today, of course, Voltaire does not rank high either as an original thinker or as a dramatist. Nonetheless, his attempt to introduce his philosophic concerns into his …
